CapnKill Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I was just exposed to this yesterday and let me say, its very impressive for what it is. Me and my friend have been looking for a MULTIPLAYER squad combat turn based game for ever and I think we've just found it. Just install the EXE, its open source.. no Quake II required as mentioned above. The single player game is also done well, the only trick is that you can't save during missions... that's something the author has been very adamant about so plan ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Huh? A standalone? What about engine rights etc?As CapnKill mentions, Quake II is opensource. It was made so by ID a few years ago. Thank you ID! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
